Bio

Since finishing high school, I have had the opportunity to tutor a lot of students at all levels! I aim to make a non-judgemental space where we can work together to improve your understanding!

I started tutoring my friends in Grade 12, and this sparked a real joy for teaching. Since then, I have been an AuPair and tutored secondary school kids as well as tutoring independently for high school and university students. Many of my students say they appreciate how I approach my tutor sessions. There is a way of explaining any topic to anyone!

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I love the moment when ‘it clicks’ in my student’s heads! My tutor sessions are as interactive as possible, and I make it a point never to make my students feel like they’ve been left behind. I have six years of experience tutoring secondary, high, and university students.

Physical Science

Grade 1 - Grade 12

Physical Science may be challenging, but I aim to help my students by breaking down challenging concepts and ensuring they build a strong foundation. I aim to help students reach their academic goals.
